SAFE EXIT ASSIST (SEA) (IF EQUIPPED)
OTM070238OTM070238
After the vehicle stops, when an
approaching vehicle from the rear area is
detected as soon as a passenger opens a
door, Safe Exit Assist will warn the driver
with a warning message and an audible
warning to help prevent a collision.
OTM070039OTM070039
In addition, when the electronic child
safety lock button is in the LOCK position
and an approaching vehicle from the
rear area is detected, the electronic child
safety lock button will not unlock even if
the driver presses the button to prevent
the rear doors from opening.
CAUTION
Warning timing may vary depending on
the speed of the approaching vehicle.
Detecting sensor
OTM070146OTM070146[1] : Rear corner radar
The rear corner radars are sensors
located inside the rear bumper to detect
the side and rear areas. Always keep the
rear bumper clean for proper operation
of Safe Exit Assist.
NOTICE
For more details on the precautions of
the rear corner radars, refer to “Blind-
Spot Collision Assist (BCA)” section in
chapter 7.

When the rear bumper around the rear
corner radar or sensor is covered with
foreign material, such as snow or rain,
or installing a trailer or carrier, it can
reduce the detecting performance and
temporarily limit or disable Safe Exit
Assist.
If this occurs, the ‘Blind-Spot Safety
system(s) disabled. Radar blocked’
warning message will appear on the
cluster.
The system will operate normally when
such foreign material or trailer, etc.,
is removed, and then the engine is
restarted.
If the system does not operate normally
after it is removed, have the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
WARNING
• Even though the warning message
does not appear on the cluster, Safe
Exit Assist may not properly operate.
• Safe Exit Assist may not properly
operate in an area (for example,
open terrain) where any objects are
not detected right after the engine
is turned on, or when the detecting
sensor is blocked with foreign
material right after the engine is
turned on.
CAUTION
Turn off Safe Exit Assist to install a
trailer, carrier, etc., or remove the
trailer, carrier, etc., to use Safe Exit
Assist.
Limitations of the system
Safe Exit Assist may not operate
normally, or the system may operate
unexpectedly under the following
circumstances:
• Getting out of the vehicle where trees
or grass are overgrown
• Getting out of the vehicle where the
road is wet
• The approaching vehicle is very fast or
very slow
For more details on the limitations of
the rear corner radar, refer to “Blind-
Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)”
section in chapter 7.
WARNING
• Safe Exit Assist may not operate
normally if interfered by strong
electromagnetic waves.
• Safe Exit Assist may not operate
for 3 seconds after the vehicle is
started, or the rear corner radars are
initialized.

WARNING
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
is a supplemental system. The
operation of the system can be
affected by several factors (including
environmental conditions). It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
check the rear view before and while
parking.
• Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle due to the malfunction of
Reverse Parking Distance Warning.
• Pay close attention when driving
near objects, pedestrians, and
especially children. Some objects
may not be detected by the
ultrasonic sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor.
Limitations of the system
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may not operate normally when:
- Moisture is frozen to the sensor
- Sensor is covered with foreign
material, such as snow or water
(The system will operate normally
when such foreign material are
removed.)
- The weather is extremely hot or cold
- The sensor or sensor assembly is
disassembled
- The surface of the sensor has been
subjected to a hard impact
- The surface of the sensor has been
scratched with a sharp object
- The sensors or its surrounding
area is directly sprayed with high
pressure washer• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may malfunction when:
- Heavy rain or water spray is present
- Water flows on the surface of the
sensor
- Affected by another vehicle’s
sensors
- The sensor is covered with snow
- Driving on uneven road, gravel
roads or bushes
- Objects that generates ultrasonic
waves are near the sensor
- Installing the license plate
differently from the original location
- The vehicle bumper height or
ultrasonic sensor installation has
been modified
- Attaching equipments or
accessories around the ultrasonic
sensors
• The following objects may not be
detected:
- Sharp or slim objects, such as ropes,
chains or small poles.
- Objects, which tend to absorb
sensor frequency, such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
- Objects smaller than 40 in. (100 cm)
in length and narrower than 6 in. (14
cm) in diameter.
- Pedestrians, animals or objects
that are very close to the ultrasonic
sensors
• Parking Distance Warning Indicators
may be displayed differently from
the actual detected location when
the obstacle is located between the
sensors.
• Parking Distance Warning indicator
may not occur sequentially depending
on vehicle speed or obstacle shape.
• If Reverse Parking Distance Warning
needs repair, have the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
